Patch looks fine beside one nit. The behavior above 4294967 seconds seems to be pretty unexpected, isn't it? Cheers, Kai 2018-02-22 22:17 GMT+01:00 Martin Storsjö : > Even though the POSIX spec of usleep says that the argument shall > be less than one million. Most unixes

[Mingw-w64-public] [PATCH] crt: Allow sleeping for over a second with usleep
